it's a material world



It's a material world
You have to believe in it
You can't ignore the calling
It is there for you and me

When you are poor
Living not knowing about tomorrow
You can only see what is today
Maybe going hungry

You can beg for alms
Along the corridors of malls
Along the streets or night markets
Going shop to shop

When night falls
You hope for a better tomorrow
But you will know
The life will not change yet

While for the rich
Every day they see
Who will pay what to buy and eat?
They don't have to worry

Life will be ready
Tomorrow they plan it out in detail
They can't afford to lose it
It is their livelihood

Today they can enjoy
The beautiful things and sights
Smiling on their good fortunes
Making monies through every means

It's a material world
It is what you have
The symbol of status
The eyes that tell

The rich and the poor
The lesson to be learned
On heaven's gate walking in
Who will give it up completely?
